And now latest predictions suggest northern England will stay dry with 'very little snow' - with forecast maps showing Leeds out of the way of the heaviest snowfall.

A yellow weather warning, issued by the Met Office, is still in place for Leeds on Sunday, and the forecast is for a cloudy day with occasional snow, potentially heavy on the hills, and a maximum temperature of 4C.

Thick snow has been forecast elsewhere in the UK, with heavy snowfall expected in central and Northern Ireland, Wales, central England and parts of northern England, falling as rain across southern England.

The Weather Channel says the 30 cm of snow expected to fall from noon tomorrow across Central England may not spread further north.

Not everywhere will be covered in the white stuff. Southern Scotland, northern England and the far south-east of England should remain mostly dry with very little snow.

However, people travelling across the country this weekend should check routes before setting off - as further disruption from snowfall in Wales and Central England is expected.

Sunday's snow forecast map

Here's the national forecast:

Forecaster Amy Hodgson, of The Weather Channe l, said: “Scattered wintry showers will continue through Saturday in northern Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Irish Sea into Wales and the north-western Midlands. Totals from this will be moderate, but further heavy snow is on the way.

"Overnight tonight, an area of low pressure with the associated fronts, will bring heavy snow across central and Northern Ireland, Wales, central England and parts of northern England. Falling as rain across southern England.

"This is because the front is a boundary between much warmer air pushing into much colder air from the Arctic. The large temperature divide leads to instability and heavy precipitation falling as rain in the south, whereas central Ireland, Wales and the Midlands will see snow.

"The next area of low pressure will arrive across the south on Monday, bringing further snow and heavy rain."
